Last year at Wimbledon, Murray was just blown off the Court by Nadal in the QF. History will repeat itself. Why are you so upbeat about Federer? What has he done to convince you he can take on Nadal? And why such a low rating on Nadal?

Last year Nadal was on his peak while Murray was not as much experienced for big matches. But after Wimbledon Murray has beaten both Nadal and Federer in few occasion. Nadal is not looking in full form. He has lost 5-6 matches this year in which 2 on his favorite clay court. Federer has chances because I don't think he will meet with Nadal in final. His confidence is high after beating Nadal in Madrid final and by winning French Open and leveling Sampras record. Now he can play without any pressure. And believe me if he gets Nadal one more time in final, this time it will be most difficult for Nadal rather than previous 3 occasion.

I want to give one suggestion to Federer(however I am not the person to advise him): Don't use so many drop shots in Wimbledon specially against Nadal. These shots were very effective on slow clay courts but on fast grass fast moving players can reach to the bowl most times.

What has the utility of a shot got to do with the type of surface? One would be inclined to use the Drop Shot, when his/her opponent is playing well behind the baseline, and the effectiveness of the shot would depend upon the ability of the player to disguise it, and not on the type of surface. But you are right on one count. Federer does not need an advice. Not from you any way.

Grass court has more pace and bounce than clay. A quick player can reach to the balls in most occasion. Federer should use it in smart way on grass court.

If Grass Court has more bounce and pace, it should give a player lesser time to reach the ball. Or perhaps you are saying that Grass offers a player more pace and bounce and he can cover any given distance quicker on grass than on Clay. Very confusing.
Players like Murrya, Djoko.. and Delpatro are just like good 20:20 plyers in cricket. They are fit for only 3 set matches but not for 5 sets. Players like Rafa and Federes are like good test player which requires a different skill sets.

ye, apart from Five sets, it is No. of Rounds they can withstand. Grand Slams requirs seven consecutive victories. Murray, djoko, finding difficult after 5 rounds QF OR SF.
